1
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Though the songwriters of the industry
3
Write most of the songs I do
4
And it's clear that no one will ever
5
Sing them quite the way I do
6
I think tonight I'll sit down and write
7
A heartfelt line or two
8
And if they turn out good enough
9
I owe every word to you
10
To the kid I thought was a little too young
11
To know what sadness was
12
Who took me out when I was down
13
And set out to find the cause
14
Of why the lady had the blues
15
And seemed on the verge of tears
16
I tell you that kid must have been around
17
For a hundred and fifty years
18
And to the tough guy blonde with the front tooth gone
19
And ships all over his chest
20
Who approached me out on the promenade
21
Of the beach heading into the west
22
His friends lay around on the muscleman lawn
23
Like a drunken pirate band
24
But he turned into a gentleman
25
Called me a lady and kissed my hand
26
Though the songwriters of the industry
27
Write most of the songs I do
28
And it's clear that no one will ever
29
Sing them quite the way I do
30
I think tonight I'll sit down and write
31
A heartfelt line or two
32
And if they turn out good enough
33
I owe every word to you
34
To the man and the woman who threw me a glance
35
As they picnicked by the sea
36
And returned their gaze to the kid and the food
37
So as not to bother me
38
They got up to leave and the woman looked on
39
As the man leaned down to say
40
"You've always meant so much to us
41
Don't want to bother you and have a nice day"
42
And to the band of gypsies I call friends
43
Who speak so carefully
44
To their friend with a life unlike their own
45
In its strange complexities
46
Who have the patience of the saints
47
When I've been down for a spell
48
I wish it were a whole lot easier
49
To find the words to wish them well
50
Though the songwriters of the industry
51
Write most of the songs I do
52
And it's clear that no one will ever
53
Sing them quite the way I do
54
I think tonight I'll sit down and write
55
A heartfelt line or two
56
And if they turn out good enough
57
I owe every word to you
